Not sure how to explain this, but here goes...
Recently I have been getting a feeling of "what am I doing down here" whilst diving. I recognize this, stop, take a moment to gather my thoughts, and carry on.
I have 200+ logged dives and am qualified to PADI DM (but don't use the qualification at all, and don't intend to).
Weirdly, it's worse the shallower I am. I feel it more at 10m, but if I go deeper, say to 18m I'm fine again.
I'd say in pretty good cardio shape (I'm also a keen cyclist).
It's not particularly environmental either. I've been fortunate enough to dive the Red Sea, Great Barrier Reef and even some UK inland quarries over the last year. Same symptoms. The exception is on "exciting" dives, e.g. night or drop off by RIB on pristine coral I'm fine.
Thoughts?
